Sincere apologies are always good. We all make mistakes and perhaps communicate things in a way that was unintended. It's human nature. I think you're English is very good.. I understood what you meant - that is, a more descriptive subject heading wouyld be appreciated. That's a fair comment. It is the delivery and tone in how you conveyed that message. Perhaps a simple, "It would be helpful to readers if there was a more description in the subject heading." José should feel much better now and understand that this was just a little unintended mistake in how you conveyed your message. I do agree that all posters should post sufficinet information for the other members to decide whether or not to read a post. We just have to convey that message in a more friendly tone! I felt bad for José because he has not posted very much and he might have felt unwelcome which is not the case at all.
